Alicia Garza on Being Targeted in Armed White Supremacist Plot as Trump Stokes Fires of Racism


This election season, Black Lives Matter co-founder Alicia Garza says President Trump is “stoking fires he has no intention of controlling” and inciting far-right extremists. She was recently approached by the FBI after agents found her name on a list in the home of a white supremacist in Idaho who was arrested on weapons charges.


“Racial terror has always been used as a form of control, particularly during periods of people fighting for social change,” she says.
